Not a big entry with 25 dogs entered and 7 absent so only 18 exhibits present. I think fronts generally are a matter for attention. Also there were quite a few with light eyes and a few with rather small eyes. Neither of these faults help expressions. I was pleasantly surprised by coats which were, on the whole, pretty good.

Rolland's Dandiroyal Puddleglum

Veteran

1st: Smith's Somercloud Starprize at Glendandy7 years, correct in topline, OK in head and had a good colour of eye. Enough muzzle. Was inclined to hop, skip and jump a little when moving in this ring. Coat not at its best yet.

Puppy Dog

1st: Rolland's Dandiroyal Diggory DelvetMore mature and better behaved here than 2 which is what took him to the first position. Good coat and OK behind. Correct in topline without being overdone there. Just a shade overdone in stop. Front could be better. Plenty of body substance;

2nd: Youngs's Inzievar The GoldsmithA very pleasing puppy with lots of promise but needs a bit more ring training and a bit more coat at this stage. Good in head for his age and will be good for size. Seemed good in topline and proportions. Just needs to keep his head up and concentrate better on the job in hand!

Special Yearling Dog

1st: Bell's Hawkesmill IndigoA much more mature youngster than 2, pleasing in head and OK in eye, good topline which he holds well in the move. Good in coat and rib. Moved better behind than in front;

2nd: Youngs's Inzievar The Goldsmith

Limit Dog

1st: Kerrush's Inzievar Silver And GoldScored well for topline which he held well on the move and shown in very good coat of the correct texture, moved well behind with drive and enthusiasm and was better in front and tail than 2. Went on to win RCC.

2nd: Jacka-Slater's Pennywave Lone RangerPleasing in head and expression with correct proportions of skull to muzzle. OK in eye. Coat is good but just coming in at this stage. Good for body shape. Moved better behind than in front and could be better in tail.
